Data issues
Time to show some major data issues graphically.
 |
No figures at this point as they were
unclear and anyway, the shapes are what matter. FYI,
total emissions are c.8 Gt per annum; gridded temp.
intervals are 0.5ºC; CO2 level rise is c.3 Gt p.a.
CET - the oldest continual temp record - shows at the
start, the Little Ice Age, followed by recoveries even
more dramatic than anything the last century has seen.
And though the temperature rises at the end, it probably
has not had sufficient (if any) deduction for local
urban heat island effects - which might well make it
show no overall trend at all.
Emissions - WHAT CORRELATION?? |
Problems of global temperature anomalies
 |
NASA (left) use a baseline 1961-1980?
NASA (right) change their records too |
|
 |
Stations (left) unevenly distributed
- to say nothing of urban heat island non-corrections.
Strange anomalies (right) suggest tha station distribution
(and other factors) poses problems./
NASA is unreliable. |
